Junior Leaders' Field Gun Competition Success

On Friday 7 July, our Uniformed Services Academy competed in the annual Junior Leaders' Field Gun Competition, held at HMS Collingwood in Fareham.

After over a month of training, in the sweltering heatwave throughout June, our students went up against 18 other colleges and crews from across Hampshire. They placed fourth overall which was a fantastic achievement, as they were the highest placing college in the entire competition!

The competition involves a lot of physical effort, as the team have to assemble a field gun before loading it and dragging it up and down the track, so we would like to wish them a huge congratulations for a brilliant end to the academic year.
